John Wesley Harding - Cupid and Psycho lyrics

As I was out walking one night in the park

Cupid was out on the town in the dark

And I couldn't resist as I saw him walk by

So I asked him why he had a tear in his eye

He said "I'm an outlaw but my hands are clean

And I love this girl who won't look twice at me

I've made love work for others and now it's my turn

But these arrows are useless, they just crash and burn

They're wide of the mark"

Cupid and Psycho, a couple much better apart

When Cupid's in love

It's Psycho left holding the darts

And it tears us apart

Psycho was sitting on her balcony

Framed on the wall by a heart made of ivy

Cupid said "Stay here with me and you'll see what I mean"

And he climbed on the tree that led up to his dream

And she shook on the branch and he fell to my feet

Bruised but still breathing, his crestfallen love

Cupid he said "Throw your hair from above"

She said "Just leave me alone, I'm bound for my bed

All the voices I'm hearing are just in my head

All the voices I'm hearing"

Cupid and Psycho, a couple much better apart

When Cupid's in love

It's Psycho left holding the darts

And it tears us apart

While Cupid is crying, love waits to be born

Broken in pieces, alone on the floor

He'd let go of the reins and the ride was insane

If he doesn't get back on, will love live again

Could we be in love? Would our hearts beat again?

Could I love you? Could you love me?

Cupid and Psycho, a couple much better in two

When Cupid's in love

Psycho ends up so confused

And it tears me and you
